I came across this picture while I was doing research for my assigment. This heartwrenching yet breathtaking picture. It took my breath away.

A short introduction of this picture. In April 1994, South African photographer Kevin Carter was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for this photo of a vulture stalking a Sudanese girl. In May, he went to New York city to receive the award. In July, he connected the exhaust of his pickup truck to a hose and gassed himself to death. I can almost imagine the fear and sadness he felt when he was taking this picture.

For many of us, our dream is to travel, to explore and to see the world. But is the world really a better place? Seeing malnorished kids bared to the bone, when they should be happily embraced in their mothers' arms turned to prey for the wild isnt exactly a nice thing to see, but it certainly is part of the world.

Seeing this picture, a familar song came to my mind.

Heal The World
Heal the world, make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
